ST. LOUIS (AP) – Rookie Luke Weaver struck out 10 in seven scoreless innings, and Kolten Wong had three hits and three runs to help the St. Louis Cardinals beat the San Diego Padres 6-2 on Wednesday night.
The Cardinals had lost three straight and six of eight following an eight-game winning streak, and had allowed at least five runs in each of the last 12 games.
Weaver (2-1), the right-hander who turned 24 on Monday, allowed three hits in his longest career outing and matched his career best with 10 strikeouts.
San Diego’s Jhoulys Chacin (11-9) allowed five runs – four earned – on six hits in 4 2-3 innings. He struck out three, walked three and hit four batters.
The Cardinals’ leadoff hitters reached and scored in four of the first five innings. Three of those runs scored with two outs.
St. Louis opened the first inning with back-to-back doubles, with Tommy Pham driving in Wong, and Pham scoring on Dexter Fowler’s sacrifice fly to make it 2-0.
Wong led off the third with a single and scored on Jedd Gyorko’s two-out infield single. Greg Garcia scored on Chacin’s two-out throwing error on an errant pickoff in the fourth, making it 4-0. Fowler scored on Chacin’s bases-loaded wild pitch in the fifth.
Manuel Margot’s triple off reliever Seung Hwan Oh in the eighth plated the Padres’ first run, making it 5-1. Cory Spangenberg hit a solo home run, his 13th, off John Brebbia in the ninth.
ST. LOUIS (AP) – The St. Louis Cardinals announced Wednesday that closer Trevor Rosenthal was being moved from the 10-day disabled list to the 60-day DL and that the right elbow injury would require Tommy John surgery.
“I think just the timing of it, being right in the middle of this race and the way my personal season had been taking shape and the way the team has been playing recently. Tough timing,” Rosenthal said.
“It felt like we were getting in a groove, I was in a groove, and to kind of have this happen and take a piece away from a really good team is a little bit of a bummer.”
Rosenthal, who recorded 93 saves in 2014-15, lost the closer’s job a year ago to Seung Hwan Oh but reclaimed it this season after Oh struggled. Rosenthal recorded 11 saves, giving him 118 over the past four seasons.
Cardinals general manager Mike Girsch said Rosenthal will have surgery next week.
“We hoped for better news,” Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said. “. Somebody is going to have to step in. He was really throwing the ball well.”

Governor Kim Reynolds has visited several Iowa schools this week to mark the start of the academic year for students in kindergarten through 12th grade. During a stop in Forest City on Wednesday morning, Reynolds stressed that nearly half the state budget is spent on education.
“It’s the biggest piece of the pie in our budget,” Reynolds says. “I recognize the fact that we can always use more, but we are putting a significant amount of funding behind and into our greatest asset and that’s our children.” Reynolds met with students and staff in Forest City’s Science Technology Engineering and Math programs.
Reynolds also visited schools in Emmetsburg, Manly and Garner as well as the Iowa Lakes Community College campus in Estherville.
